Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott.
Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!
Last week's crashout over *everything* about AI bled into the weekend's feminine rage which was reignited by a man daring to question something I was wearing. Consoling myself in the best way I know how: by consuming environmental content, some of it justifiably angry, that makes me feel validated
We have destabilized the climate system and will suffer the consequences.
Absolutely guffawing about the fact this at least lightly implies that Dorsey may think *himself* punk 🤭🤭😂
People made fun of Mike Dukakis for being short and dweeby, but he took public transportation to work as Governor
This man has clearly never sat at a park bench while sipping coffee, watching the squirrels and maybe taking some videos to send to his grandma because she loves squirrels.
The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.
I see that some tech bros are trying to rebrand geoengineering as "climate systems engineering."
That's usually what happens when a brand sucks but you don't really wanna change the product ...
The soot falling as black rain could contain chemicals like cancer-causing benzenes.
You don't want this stuff getting into water supplies.
Tehran was already on the brink of running out of water. Now even their rain is contaminated.
All I want for international women’s day is a thorough and permanent dismantling of patriarchy, the destruction of fascism, the composting of billionaires, freedom for the oppressed and a regulated nervous system.
screenshot of tweet from Lockheed Martin's twitter account: https://x.com/LockheedMartin/status/2030041232144056525 Text: We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg. Includes screenshot of Trump post on Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116184185735585906 Text: We just concluded a very good meeting with the largest U.S. Defense Manufacturing Companies where we discussed Production and Production Schedules. They have agreed to quadruple Production of the “Exquisite Class” Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity. Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way. We have a virtually unlimited supply of Medium and Upper Medium Grade Munitions, which we are using, as an example, in Iran, and recently used in Venezuela. Regardless, however, we have also increased Orders at these levels. The Companies represented were the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon. The meeting concluded with another meeting scheduled in two months. States all over the Country are bidding for these new Plants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
They "began this work months ago" ?
Among other more obvious horrors, this war is closing our window to mitigate climate breakdown
I imagine these are the people who walk up to you in the grocery store and touch your hair 🤢
Happy International Women's Day! I'm going to celebrate it by existing and calling for an end to mansplaining.
YesStyle (China, but carries J and K beauty) and Olive Young (Korea) are still working with no additional fees last I knew. I haven't ordered from them in about a year, but a friend ordered recently and had no issues.
Remember all those annoying people like me who kept chirping up when hospitals were targeted in Gaza, saying that if we let it happen there it would become the new normal from now on…
This reminds me a bit of the Bronzor/Bronzog Pokémon inspo: m.bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/On_the_...
Exactly. I want to do my own curation. If people can't search their interests to find accounts they might enjoy engaging with, that's a skill issue.
Yesssss! It feels like Twitter circa 2010. With maybe a few more bells and whistles.
That. I get the feeling the "nobody is talking" crowd are more scrollers than conversationalists. They want more content to view. Not necessarily people to engage with.
Right. It's like a cafeteria. You find a few groups to hangout near. Sometimes start or drop into a convo. At times people will be talking about the same things. Regardless of who you follow, you will be left considering if you should become interested in a sport.
And the U.S. is run by lunatics who worship money. Fanatics and zealots for cash
How do I make "this cheddar stabs" fetch?
Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose – off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution – fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale – leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger.
Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge don’t accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.
So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
Bureau of Prisons: February 19, 2026 PURPOSE AND SCOPE To establish professional guidelines for the mental health evaluation and treatment of inmates meeting the diagnostic criteria for Gender Dysphoria (GD) to assist their progress toward recovery, while reducing or eliminating the frequency and severity of symptoms and associated negative outcomes.
This week it was uncovered that the Trump regime is trying to "cure" trans prisoners of being transgender, while doing everything they can - from labeling our mere existence as explicit to stripping us of our legal documents - to ensure we *all* end up imprisoned in their ever-growing camps.
Realizing I should include the main things you should do to support native bees/other insects
1) Plant native plants
2) Don't use pesticides, and tell your friends and neighbors to stop using pesticides
3) Leave fallen leaves in the winter
4) Leave dead stems over winter for overwintering critters
Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?
Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.
The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.
In recent years, Bilbao has quietly built a cycling network shaped by lessons from the Netherlands: calmed where it can be, protected where it must be, and always comfortable and connected.
The result? You can now pedal across the city on infrastructure made for everyone—not just the fit and brave.
